Bill overview
This bill proposes a rehabilitative release program for certain incarcerated individuals in New Jersey. It allows incarcerated persons who are at least 60 years old and have served at least 20 years, or those convicted of murder who are at least 62 and have served at least 30 years, to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility for Rehabilitative Release. If approved, they can petition the court for a sentence modification, and the court will consider factors like rehabilitation and public safety before potentially reducing or suspending their sentence. The bill also updates reporting requirements for the parole board.
